We set out plans for three big projects this summer, and they are finally getting close to ending. The interior work - new tongue and groove paneling in the addition of the cabin, specifically the ceiling and wall in the main bedroom, were done in May. Since then the work has focused on the outside, on relaying the brick terrace and doing prep work for the pool repair. Jesse managed both of these projects.
Some earlier posts showed these new stairs leading down to the pool. They were the elements of the first of our two concrete pours...this one included replacing the footer of the retaining wall near the pool.
This photo shows the retaining wall as well as the new terrace area by the pool. This area was previously brick pavers laid in a thin set of concrete. Now it's completely a layer of concrete. Just out of view, the wood deck remains on the left side of the pool.
We decided to have a new roof put on the cabana. It's pretty close to transparent, although that won't last, but for now it makes for a bright changing room...bright enough to see a snake skin laying in a pile of leaves on the floor, that is!
Here is the pump and filter assembly on its new concrete pad. The electricity needs to be hooked up to complete this. With the water in the pool - I'll post about that tomorrow - times a wastin' getting this thing turned on!
